Description copied from interface: AuthenticationHelper

Uses securityAuthority to determinie a set of valid user credentials for the specified Response (Challenge) and appends it to the challenged request so that it could be retransmitted.

Specified by:

handleChallenge in interface AuthenticationHelper

Parameters:

challenge - the 401/407 challenge response

challengedTransaction - the transaction established by the challenged request

transactionCreator - the JAIN SipProvider that we should use to create the new transaction.

cacheTime - The amount of time (seconds ) for which the authentication helper will keep a reference to the generated credentials in a cache. If you specify -1, then the authentication credentials are cached until you remove them from the cache. If you choose this option, make sure you remove the cached headers or you will have a memory leak.

Returns:

a transaction containing a re-originated request with the necessary authorization header.

Throws:

SipException - if we get an exception white creating the new transaction

NullPointerException - if an argument or a header is null.

Parameters:

request - - the request for which we attach the authentication headers.

removeCachedAuthenticationHeaders

public void removeCachedAuthenticationHeaders(String callId)

Description copied from interface: AuthenticationHelper
